This thread is incredible. Tons of good info. Hoping for a little advice on wiring my new V8 and electronic ignition distributor. It’s EI but still has an external coil (I’m running a Pertronix with 1.5 ohm resistance). The dist. has 2 wires, red and black, Instructions just say to wire the red/black to the + and - terminals on the coil.

I understand i can get rid of the white braided resistor wire now that I’m not using points anymore, and the purple wire will still go to the starter solenoid,
But I’m not sure how to wire the starter to the coil?

Any info is appreciated.
